Prepare for the Worst:
Assume the Worst from a Bully
Start by expecting the worst from a bully. You probably won't be disappointed.
By expecting the worst, you will also be less likely to naïvely slip into blind compassion, forgiveness and acceptance of a bully who is intent on destroying your self-confidence, dignity and livelihood.
| Preparing for the worst from a bully |

- Realize you can't have a normal, cooperative relationship with a bully
- Expect aggression and manipulation from a bully - Expect to be surprised by vicious acts of covert aggression (backstabbing) - Expect to be lied to, deceived and slandered - Expect a bully to aggressively try to destroy your career - Expect belligerence and vindictiveness from a bully - Expect to see the worst of human behavior |
